It sounds like we need a special category. He thinks corporations should be partial persons. I wonder what fraction he'd pick?
He's got many good points that are a helpful education on the topic, like pointing out that since the 5% owns 2/3 of all stocks, "shareholder rights" really means the interests of the wealthiest. That's probably not what progressives are trying to champion and probably betrays their lack of understanding of the subject.
I feel like this topic is related to the hypothetical discussion of how we should handle long-lived or immortal people. Since corporations persist for much longer than humans they can act on the same goal(s) for a destabilizing period of time.
If corporations are treated more like people, if they have a "conscience," then how do they define and update it?
